Easter inspired movies are some of my favorite ones to watch during this special and sacred holiday. Although, it's hard to pick just five Easter movies as my favorites, I would chose these over any of the others as my top picks.
Jesus of Nazareth impacted my life in a huge way back in 1976 when I was at a crossroad in my life. This 5 star movie produced by Franco Zeffirelli, is the best movie depicting the life of Christ I've ever seen. The point of who He was and is, came home to me the first time I saw it and I still get that message to this day. A perfect Easter movie.
I'm a fan of Fred Astaire and this Easter musical starring Astaire and Judy Garland is my favorite classic movie to watch for the holidays. His dancing is always extraordinary in all of his movies.
Ben Hur won eleven Academy Awards and Best Picture which is no surprise. Charlton Heston gives and excellent performance in this superb movie about the life a wealthy Jewish nobleman and his tribulations in life. He also witnesses the crucifixion of Christ.
Charlie Brown movies are just fun to watch with the kids because you never hear an adult voice in any of the movies. Peppermint Patty stars with Charlie in this cute Easter movie.
Another great holiday movie starring Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire. Holiday Inn is enjoyable all year round, but I like to watch it during the Easter and Christmas season.
Your list covers a lot of the really great movies to watch at Easter.
Nice list of Easter movies. H5 list that I just love.
I love them all. They usually put the Ten Commandments on at that time as well, even though it's not about the Christ but rather the Old Testament. I love your list and have witnessed each movie. H5
